Building a Primitive Cabin

For the lack of better things to do (there's always cleaning, but who wants to do that!)

 I decided to head to the wood shop this morning. 

I have been thumbing through a book,

the 1992 issue of American Country Christmas, admiring all the little houses and cabins....

Today was the day to build one

please don't mind my messy work area, crap flies when this girl is in the

wood shop

~Step One~

Framing

Starting to take shape

Front and sides are done

Now, hmmmm, we need a roof

Salvaged Rusty Tin, just the ticket

and

what's a Cabin without a porch

Another view

need to do a little more work on the chinking

Aerial view  ;)

My inspiration, photo of one in the book

A Little Decor, please

I think I will make some tiny mouldings for around the door and window yet

Maybe apply a coat of Early American stain,

make the wood a bit richer

Now, if I could only make a mini - me...........I'd grab a rocking chair....

sit on the porch and do some stitchin'

So please...

stop by my cabin for a visit

Blessings,

Traci
